You are an exhibition designer who has received a commission to develop a temporary exhibition for an American museum dedicated to promoting awareness of climate change. Your client has requested that you develop a fun and accessible visualization or installation that clearly illustrates that global warming is indeed occurring. Working in groups of three identify the type of data you would seek out and develop an 'elevator pitch' that describes how your visualization would work, and its intended user experience. Prepare some quick sketches or diagrams and be prepared to present your concept to the group (for feedback) at the end of the lab session. This is a blue-sky exercise, so you don't need to worry about the realization of this concept, just make sure your scheme is semi-plausible and have fun! This doesn't have to be a graphic, it could also be some kind of 'Eames-esque' interactive experience.

Each group should upload their image(s) and 'elevator pitch' under the lab brief on this page – ideally before the end of the class.
